My internet has been slower than getting stuck behind a tractor on the roads of rural Indiana, so I’m a little late posting this!
I have received my second rejection, and although rejection is never fun, the sting of this one wasn’t so bad.
I received a personal letter from the agent that I queried. Eeek! I printed it off and had my own little dance party, because personal letters aren’t very common!
The agent considered my novel, but finally opted to pass. The agent didn’t know if he/she would be able to sell a story like mine in this market. Although it was disappointing, the note was kind, and at least I know that my story was intriguing.
I have definitely gone into this knowing that my story isn’t what agents are looking for right now. There seem to be a lot of agents looking for modern day stories, paranormal stories, and edgy stories. The market says that fantasy has been overdone, but I’m hoping to change someone’s mind! I sent more queries out, and I’m crossing my fingers that the saying, “the third one’s a charm” will be true!
Happy writing ya’ll!
